Title: Cyclonic separation device
Inventor: ZHAO QUNLI
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2014-03-11
Abstract: A cyclonic separation device comprises a cyclone chamber 11 having a cyclone axis A, a fluid outlet at one end of the cyclone chamber and a tubular apertured shroud 14 extending concentrically with the cyclone axis A. In use a motor 15 rotates the shroud 14 in the direction of a rotational airflow in the chamber 11 at a rotational speed which is over 1500 rpm and/or over 70% of the airflow speed around the shroud 14. The high speed of rotation of the shroud 14 is sufficient to dislodge any dust on the shroud by centrifugal action. Also, the high rotational speed of shroud 14 means that the air does not to need to decelerate to pass through the shroud 14 apertures and hence the risk of pressure drop and a loss of suction is avoided.

Title: Method of controlling a wireless link in a multi-radio communication system
Inventor: BRICE LE HOUEROU
IPC: H04W88/06
Filed: 2015-04-30
Abstract: One wireless controller inside a source device is selected in order to perform link communication while other wireless controller(s), not selected, is/are configured in a specific mode, called mirror mode in which physical transmission of data frame(s) over the medium is disabled. The selected controller is configured into a transmission mode also called normal mode in which physical transmission of data frame(s) over the medium is enabled. Data frame(s) to be transmitted are stored in buffers for both the normal and mirror mode before transmission. During the wireless communication, the wireless controllers are controlled and switched over the time from normal mode to mirror mode by a link controller. The link controller advantageously selects the most effective wireless controller(s) for the transmission of data frame(s). The mirror buffer is updated based on a virtual reception acknowledgement determined from a reception acknowledgment to ensure all buffers content is identical. Accordingly, a swap between the wireless controllers may be carried out without disturbing a real time transmission.

Title: Translation entry invalidation in a multithreaded data processing system
Inventor: DEREK WILLIAMS
IPC: G06F12/1027
Filed: 2016-12-06
Abstract: This application is for a way to invalidate the entries in a translation lookaside buffer more efficiently using sidecar logic, which is a one request-buffering entry. It works by first executing a translation lookaside buffer invalidate entry instruction (TLBIE), 501, then pausing the dispatch of the TLBIE in the present thread 502. It then moves the TLBIE to the store queue of a level 2 cache 506, and once it is there moves it to the sidecar 602, 604. It then holds it there until it receives a signal that the invalidate instructions have been completed in all other processors 508, and once it has resumes the dispatch of the instructions in the thread 510. Once it is in the sidecar logic, it further broadcasts an invalidation request that is received by the plurality of processor cores, and it further ensures the completion of the processor of the translation invalidation request by broadcasting a synchronisation request.
